Working with artists, poets and craftspeople this project has explored the history of the Gut Girls and the School for Domestic Economy, a reform school for the women working in The Foreign Cattle Market, the reform school was created by the Duchess of Albany at the turn of the century. The Slaughterhouse Girls Club laid the ground for The Albany arts centre as we now know it today.
